Trademark Opposition Process
Trademark opposition is the claim in writing to oppose the registration of a trademark alleging similarity with an existing trademark. An opposition is filled by an owner of an existing trademark who fears that there will be an invasion to his trademark rights if the trademark is issued. A notice of the opposition will be served to the applicant.
The applicant has to provide answers for this opposition and the same has to be done within a specified period of time. If the answers are not provided within such time then the same will act as a ground for refusal of registration. If the authorities are satisfied that the Opposition claim is valid then the trademark application will be rejected by the Trademark Office.
